In an unexpected turn of events, technology titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg publicly declared their intention to face off in a highly-anticipated cage match.

The showdown began with Musk tweeting that he would be "up for a cage fight" with Zuckerberg. The latter posted an Instagram story with a confident "send me location" captioned screenshot of Musk's tweet.

I’m up for a cage match if he is lol

Meta's spokesperson merely stated that "the story speaks for itself."

Musk, never one to shy away from eccentricity, suggested holding the fight in the famous Octagon in Las Vegas, the battleground for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bouts. Adding a touch of humor, he shared his unique move, "The Walrus," and even posted videos of actual walruses, leaving some to question the seriousness of his challenge.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, at 39 years old, has been training in mixed martial arts (MMA) and has achieved success in jiu-jitsu tournaments. As the debate over who would emerge victorious engulfed social media, memes and mock posters advertising the fight flooded the internet.

In other news, Meta recently unveiled plans for a text-based social network, codenamed P92, aiming to compete with Twitter. This development has the potential to pose a greater challenge to Musk's Twitter dominance than previous contenders, such as BlueSky or Mastodon.
